  • Here's where our disassembly efforts get gummed up.

  • The display—rumored to be a Sharp Memory LCD—seems firmly glued to the front half of the plastic enclosure. If you need to replace your display, you'll probably need a whole new plastic face—we were not confident we could separate the screen without destroying it. Probably not expensive, but not ideal.

  • Meanwhile, the buttons and other various I/O live on this sprawling flexible printed circuit, which is glued to the midframe. We started to un-glue it before realizing this wasn't a good, or reversible, idea.

  • One huge bright spot, though, is this 100% modular headphone jack. Is that considered retro now? Whatever the case, we're big fans.

  • A Knowles SPH1642HT5H-1 MEMS microphone can be found near the headphone jack, too!

Und hier kommen unsere Teardown-Bemühungen zum Stillstand.

Das Display—angeblich ein Sharp Memory LCD—scheint fest in die vordere Hälfte des Kunststoffgehäuses eingeklebt zu sein. Um dein Display zu ersetzen, brauchst du wahrscheinlich eine ganze neue Kunststoffvorderseite. Wir glauben nicht, dass wir das Display ablösen können, ohne es kaputt zu machen. Wahrscheinlich wird das zwar nicht teuer, ist aber eben nicht ideal.

Die Tasten und verschiedene I/O wohnen auf der weitläufigen, flexiblen Leiterplatte, die am Mittelrahmen festgeklebt ist. Wir hatten schon angefangen sie abzulösen, bevor uns klar wurde, dass das keine gute und vor allem reversible Idee war.

Ein riesiger Pluspunkt ist allerdings diese zu 100% modulare Kopfhörerbuchse. Läuft das jetzt unter retro? Egal, wir sind auf jeden Fall begeistert.

In der Nähe der Kopfhörerbuchse befindet sich auch ein Knowles SPH1642HT5H-1 MEMS Mikrofon!
